Great SQL for Quick Development
What do you like best about the product?
It’s quick to setup and get started. Since it can store the tables locally, I love using it for quick proofs of concept or learning purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I’m not a huge fan of the SQL Workbench GUI. It’s not very user friendly. Sometimes the MySQL installation breaks and you have to reinstall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a large company, you often can’t just quickly create new database tables. MySQL allows me to quickly and easily test database ideas locally or provide a db for a proof of concept I’m working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don’t have experience using MySQL as our main database for our applications, but it is fantastic for doing quick ideas or small learning projects. Could not recommend enough for personal use.

You might want to consider the open source alternative
The best database server for both commercial and personal projects
What do you like best about the product?
There are several database servers nowadays. While the others are more sophisticated, MySQL does everything that others can while being very simple to manage.
MySQL does not have much overhead, thus on a dedicated server, it can use the resources optimally.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing in MySQL I do not like. I have been using it for every personal project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL server is used by me to store a huge amount of data (more than 100GB) and let me tell you, still it is scaling perfectly.
The InnoDB storage engine has no match. I have used table partitions a lot to manage such a big dataset.

Easy to learn relational DB
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is simple to learn. It is easy to get it installed and running and easy to connect.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL is now owned by Oracle, so that makes life tricky. I do wish it had been treated as a separate entity when Oracle bought Sun. Still, that's how business works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have local databases tracking student use of the computer labs and software. We also use it to for various engineering software that require database integration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider MariaDB if you want to go back to a true Open Source product. If you're OK with Oracle, then this is great!
Mysql does the work you need in a way you want
What do you like best about the product?
Mysql is the most popular and commonly used RDBMS. It is open source and free . It is a feature rich product that powers a lot of web-sites and applications online. It is relatively easy to get started with MySQL, it has a lot of third-party applications, tools and integrated libraries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared with SQL server rich functions, MYSQL does have functional limitations .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used MYSQL to create and store data used by web application. Compared with SQL server, it is much easier to use mysql to pull and get data from web app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great majority of web-sites (and web-applications) can simply work on MySQL despite the constraints. This flexible and somewhat scalable tool is easy to use and easy to manage -- which proves very helpful in the long run.Even though MySQL and some storage engines perform really well with read operations, concurrent read-writes can be problematic.
Easy and fast to set up
What do you like best about the product?
Easy and fast to set up, and to use for even a basic coder
What do you dislike about the product?
It is too easy to set up and mimic, anybody can use it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
as a connection local database to develop and test some in house coding
Implementing databases uses MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
The detailed user manual the accompanies MySQL
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuring triggers was a bit of challeng. It requires that the Primary Key for the tables on which the trigger be set to INT. Setting Primary Key to VAR results in a trigger that doesn't execute.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am creating online databases for dynamic websites for clients in various fields. I have already used it to create a database that health facilities can use to manage patient data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Mysql is a rich DBMS with all that you need to create a database. It works well with other programming languages such as HTML, PHP, Python among others. The other benefit of using Mysql is the ready support that is available on online forums. So one never really gets stuck.Of course, this applies to all the other open source software. Lastly, I found the query facility really useful in manipulating data. Though I am still on the learning journey, I can say with confidence that MySQL is a great DBMS.
